Capcom to turn Dragon's Dogma into key franchise

Capcom plans to turn the Dragon's Dogma brand into a major franchise, revealing that the action-RPG shipped one million units during its first month.

This news follows the NPD's report that the game only sold 92,000 copies from its release date (May 22) through May 26.

The global figure from Capcom means that the company intends "to add more titles to the lineups of its core game franchises while introducing original titles as well." It will also continue releasing DLC for existing games, such as Dragon's Dogma.

"By focusing on these measures to enlarge the lineup of content under development, Capcom aims to maximize earnings," the statement read.
